'Hearing The Message Concerning Christ,'

The people who are responsible for sharing and preaching God's Word have a Holy responsibility! Their Message needs to impart Faith to their hearers. Faith comes from hearing what is told, so, if God's Pure Word is not taught and preached, Disciples will never be made. May God's Pure Word be taught regularly in the Churches! May God's Word have priority in our small groups and fellowship groups!
